It's busy and the clientele is predominantly corporate, but that lends itself to a pretty decent level of service. The coffee is variable depending on who the barista is at the time. But after a few visits it seems if Adrienne or Dominic are on you are in safe hands. The rest of the staff there are really nice and personable and one of the leading reasons I have kept coming back. If you have cash they have a coffee cart out front in the morning to ease the queue inside. Also has a tonne of seating if you have the time to sit down.

Service is fast, although not particularly friendly, and there's plenty of seating both inside and out. The atmosphere is a bit clinical--there's nothing really unique or cosy about BarMerlo, but as I said, the coffee is good and reliable. This is, after all, the city, meaning the bulk of BarMerlo's patronage probably comes from business people, less interested in hipster fit-outs and more concerned with good, fast coffee. So that is what you'll get--nothing more, nothing less.

Today was a really chilly and rainy day with no early class, and I really wanted a toasty latte to bring with me to study, so I finally made my way down George Street to this coffee hub tucked away in the city. Just the name of this place itself should pique anyone's interest, but even more than that, the ratings for their coffee has been consistently high. To my pleasant surprise, the coffee didn't fall short of my expectations! While I'm not usually a fan of dark roast, I enjoyed this roast, as it didn't taste burnt at all. Though the coffee didn't have a particular nutty or fruity aroma, it was still aromatic and smooth. It was a little more acidic than I would have liked, but that's me being overly critical. I would give their coffee a 4.5/5, at least for Brisbane standards, and the location is quite perfect for those who work in the city! They also offer almond milk as an option, which I definitely want to try sometime. The baristas were also quite friendly, and their mascot goat is just too cute! //edit Tried the almond milk latte! Was less than delighted, but it was worth a try! Dampens the coffee taste and waters down the coffee flavor a bit, and in my opinion, not worth the extra dollar.

This morning, a meeting in the CBD provided the convenient opportunity to casually suggest Frisky Goat. Like a pro. Keep in mind this isn't really a spot to stop and mooch, although there are a few stools and bar tables for you to perch upon. And in a history of bottom-of-office-building-cafes equating to less than amazing coffee, you'll be surprised to know Frisky Goat (pouring Supreme Roasters coffee and Bunker Hot Chocolate) are a cut above the rest. My latte wasn't overly milky and I could actually detect coffee. Impressed. Plus, I know the guys at Bunker are pretty fussy with who they give their hot chocolate too, so they've got to be good. Oh, and for my lactose intolerant buddies. Bonus points. They offer almond milk for $1 extra.

I have been to many Coffee Club's before in my time, but I find this one to be my favourite. 1) They remember you 2) The bread seems to be always fresh, hot and toasted just right 3) They seem to have a larger cake selection than most This might all be in my head mind you, but these are what I like about this place...franchise or not, it is one of the reasons why I come here. My only complaint is that the prices are still a little bit steep and have been getting steep over time. The big breakfast is almost $20... and for that you can get a fancy deli style one in a posh restaurant... almost for cheaper. Otherwise, they have specials coming out all the time here... but get there early or there won't be anywhere to sit.

I work in the area and there are quite a few coffee shops along the strip. Eventually, I thought I should give them a go and I am pleased to say that I really enjoyed the coffee and the place. They have a warm, vibrant atmosphere and mixed with the relaxed feel all the Redlands seems to have, it is a good combination. I really enjoyed my homemade muffin and cappuccino combo. They also have a really good variety on the menu including baguettes and sandwiches plus I was really temped by their breakfast menu... must come back for breakfast one day soon. They are a little far, I can walk to at least 3 coffee places from where I work and unfortunately I would have to drive to get to Mila. No problem, possibly they might just become my weekend cafe of choice instead.

I asked if they could make it for me: pancakes (or waffles are a good enough alternative) with bacon and poached eggs with maple syrup.

A++ on customer service and going the extra mile for a good meal.
